a series of new hexahydroquinoline and 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives were synthesized. condensation of 2-methyl- thiazole-4-carboxaldehyde (1) with 1,3-cyclohexanedione and alkyl 3- aminocrotonate afforded 4-(2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-hexahydroquinoline while condensation of aldehyde (1) with benzoyl acetone and thiourea gave 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives. the stereochemistry of 1,4-dihydr...

A convenient and highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one/thione derivatives via one-pot three-component Biginelli condensation of arylaldehydes,urea/thiourea and ethyl/methyl acetoacetate in the presence of Zn(SO4)2.7H2Oas anefficient, readily and inexpensive catalyst under solvent-free conditions have been studied. Thisprotocol ha...
